Tuesday wasn’t one of the more memorable days on the stock exchange for U.S. chip titan Intel (NASDAQ: INTC). There was little fresh news affecting the company directly, still it managed to drift 2% higher in price across the trading session.

At any rate Intel beat the S&P 500 index, which fell by 0.6% Tuesday. To a degree, investors are still reacting to the blockbuster news from the end of last week that Nvidia will invest a meaty $5…

Yet McKinney first entered coffee the same way thousands of career coffee folks have, as a barista at Starbucks. “I was a baby barista and became the store coffee master, which means I got to wear a black apron instead of a green one,” McKinney, who a decade later would be competing in the French Barista Championship, told DCN. Thinking back to his early days in coffee, McKinney said, “I thought…
Central banks around the world — including the Federal Reserve — could soon become big buyers of bitcoin, after historically shunning the cryptocurrency, according to the Deutsche Bank Research Institute. Monetary policy-setting institutions have traditionally skewed conservative with their reserves, holding mostly gold and Treasurys for stability and to preserve their currencies’ value.

We also request the SEC review bipartisan legislation being advanced in the 119th Congress concerning accredited investors.” The lawmakers underscored the potential impact of crypto investments qualifying for 401(K)s, stating: “We are hopeful that such actions will help the 90 million Americans that are currently restricted from investing in alternative assets to secure a dignified, comfortable retirement.” Unlocking crypto to 401(k)s, further Fed rate cuts, and the approval of XRP-spot ETFs could create a perfect…
